Cloudflare rebuilds Containers for faster agent sandboxes
Cloudflare has reworked Containers to better support agent-style workloads that create sandboxes on demand, need fast startup, and may pause and resume later. The update adds runtime selection of images and instance types, a new scheduling policy, faster container startup, and public beta filesystem snapshots, while preserving the Durable Object-based control model.
